Show Notes
What happens when rock legends from two iconic bands lock themselves in a studio with no rules, no label pressure and total creative freedom?
In this very special episode of VRP Rocks, Paul Stephenson sits down with Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival and John McFee of The Doobie Brothers to unearth the incredible lost story of Jackdawg — a band made up of three Rock & Roll Hall of Famers whose early ’90s album was shelved before it ever got a proper release… until now.
Hear how this unique project came together, why it disappeared for decades and why 2025 is finally the time for Jackdawg’s music to be heard.
